Ladies get in here! See the Man that has asked for potential wives to come for an interview

Who is looking for husband? Look no further, Athumani Mchambua a 75-year-old Tanzanian man might just be the one. He has launched an elaborate search for a partner after his wife died.

Athumani Mchambua has put up advertising posters in the low income area of Mbagala in the main city of Dar es Salaam, urging interested applicants to show up for an interview.

The poster, in Swahili, says the successful candidate must be hardworking, able to handle farm work and be willing to be a step-mother to his 11 children.

Mr Mchambua told the BBC’s Munira Hussein that he wanted to do the search on his own and not through intermediaries, which is traditional in some cultures.

“I felt that if I was to use a traditional intermediary to find a wife, they might find a woman and then want to keep her for themselves. That’s why I decided that I search for her on my own, and put out those posters.”
